Did Roseland in Derby, 2 weeks ago. Pizza was outstanding.

Did Zupardis yesterday, good but doesn't beat Roseland. To me Roseland is up there with Modern (my favorite).
 
I had Colony tonight, was not their best batch. I still prefer Rikos and I'll tell you why. Rikos has wings and Colony is just pizza.
The one time I had Riko's pizza - their version of a stinger - it gave me the squirts. And, being old school, my philosophy continues to be that anyplace that offers wings has both inferior pizza and inferior wings (any exceptions to this are typically wood-fired pizza places).
 
And the people in Stamford Colony can be pr!cks. They basically expect you to know upon entering the establishment for the first time that they serve pizza and only pizza. Don't dare ask for a salad or wings (like I did many moons ago when I first moved there).

And you making a rookie move like that makes them pricks how?
 
Side question as I am looking at a pair of potential job offers, what are my chances of finding a good think crust, New Haven-like pizza in either Atlanta or Seattle? It's a very important consideration for a guy who has been living on Modern and Pepe's for 3+ decades now.

I think we have some people here in both areas, I'm sure I'm forgetting some others

Look at the bright side, you'll either be getting better fried chicken and BBQ or better fish and Asian food to replace your pizza indulgences.

Atlanta checking in - if you end up in the city itself, there’s a couple good pizza places.

Suburbia? It’s a wasteland.

Been wondering the same thing myself ! 6 months without success but haven’t given up yet. By far the biggest thing I miss about CT

Aside from pizza, Atlanta is an excellent food city.

The misses is from Maine. She feels 'crowded' if she can see the neighbors house thus its the suburbs!
 
i have never had this stuff. any personal reviews? what's their 'hook?'
First chain on the block with non-traditional toppings. When they first hit it big, they were sort of the poor man's Spago (Wolfgang Puck) pizza.

I’ve never had their plain cheese pizza and would never go to CPK for a pizza fix but I did enjoy their tostada pizza. It was something I couldn’t get anywhere else and also inspired me and many others to make their own version of it. They changed it a while back to a thin crust but like 6-7 years ago that was a solid pie. Great buffalo Cauliflower too!
 
"Great" and "cauliflower" should never appear in the same sentence.

Went there for the first time a few years ago when we couldn't get in anywhere else at Foxwoods on short notice. It wasn't awful, but wouldn't make it a point to go back.

That would be my review as well. Probably have eaten there 3-4 times over last decade. Always while traveling and needing to find some place to eat and options were slim.

I agree with two exceptions: (1) Buffalo cauliflower (Moxie in Madison does a great job with this; we now replicate the recipe at home at least once a month); and (2) the cheese-laden dish my wife makes on the holidays that has cauliflower and pancetta.

It's mall food, a step above Sbarro in taste and price around the same level as Bertucci's, which I used to like better. Can even get some of their pies at the grocery store. They lean toward the non-tradtional West Coast style pies, such as BBQ Chicken, which is likley their best offering. Problem for me is when I am in that mood, I'm heading to Willington Pizza if possible.
 
Just got back from my first Zuppardi's visit: went for the fresh clam pizza w/o mozz.

Really fun experience and a very interesting style of pizza (my first trying a fresh clam pizza). The clams were incredibly fresh and there was a nice herbaceous flavor between the garlic, oregano and other dried spices. It was an incredibly high-quality food experience, but personally not my thing. For those Zupp's aficionados, is the fresh clam better w/ or w/o mozz?

I'll def be back again, but instead for either their special pizza or their "all things fresh". It was an honor to give Zupp's a try.

I prefer the fresh clam with no mozz.

We did takeout from there again for an office lunch last week. My assistant ordered the pizzas this time and she ordered the clam with mozz. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was but I still prefer it without; the five others preferred it with mozz.

Try the sausage next time.

The cauliflower app with peanut dipping sauce at shell and bones is better imo but both are good.
